Hey friends — those couple of warm days we had this week got us thinking… Shore bar season is almost here! And once that thought pops into your head, there’s really no going back.

It’s officially that time of year when we start keeping an eye on the seasonal beach bars that close up for the winter and patiently (or not so patiently) wait for their reopening days. Honestly, at this point we don’t even care if it gets cold again, snows, or if a full-blown tundra rolls through. As long as we know the beach bars are opening soon… we’re happy.

So we put together a little list of some of the Shore spots getting ready to flip the “OPEN” sign back on. Now all we have to do is mark the calendars and count down the days until we can sit outside, hear the ocean, and enjoy an icy 🍻cold drink by the water.

And in case you missed it, see here for a list of beaches with beach pass sales going on now.
